Whats one movie that you like that everyone else seems to hate?

My friends and I love Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, but it only got negative reviews.

A very funny movie with sweet ass fight scenes and actually funny slapstick? Some people need to get their heads out their collective ass, that movie was brilliant.
Avatar, I wont say I loved it but most people I know or have just seen online all think they hated it when really it just wasn't the best movie they have ever seen. The CG is orgasmic and the story was simple and tried and tested enough that it didn't draw your attention away from the gorgeous visuals.
Hell that's all I wanted.

I am legend. Nothing but contempt. Usually because no one seems to understand what the movie is about since they changed the ending. If you hate that movie check out the directors cut and realize that the monster are not god damn vampires. THEN if you still hate it it's fine by me.

Wait; vampires? How could anyone think that they are vampires? It's fairly well explained that they are just infected.
And that is one good film right there.

I love that movie! And Shaolin Soccer!

OT: Everyone I know hates Labyrinth. I don't know why. Sure it's old, but it's a great movie.

Stardust.

It's not so much a 'everyone seems to hate' film as a 'everyone between 13-40 ignores' film, but I have a real soft spot for it.

I love that movie. I would snuggle it if I could. It's one of those rare movies where (as much as I love Neil Gaiman) I enjoyed it more than the book.

OT: I would go with the general consensus of Silent Hill and RE movies. Transformers, too.

Whoops, double post, so I will add this:

...I may also have been known to go see the Twilight movies...for the snark of course...*runs away*

For me, Its odd. I actually liked Independence Day, Godzilla (1998), and Disaster movie but most people seem to hate those.

Independence Day was one of the greatest movies of all time I had no idea others hated it. I thought it was universally accepted as phenomenal.

The Shadow.

Most people don't like it. Don't know why.

Waterworld.

I think it won a Rasberry Award, but I thought it was a good movie. The only part I thought was cheesy was linking the oil ship to the "Exxon Valdez"

For me, Its odd. I actually liked Independence Day, Godzilla (1998), and Disaster movie but most people seem to hate those.

Wasn't ID4 a huge hit? I remember it being incredibly popular. I think Godzilla 1998 was a box office success too, despite every Godzilla fan hating the new monster design. (I don't even remember Disaster movie.)

Southland Tales. It was the very poorly recieved second movie by the director of Donnie Darko. I love Southland Tales, I don't think it's as bad as everyone makes it out to be. And a lot of my friends do like to remind me of how bad they think it is on a regular basis.

This may sound like an attack but I fucking hate Southland Tales, whenever anyone asks me what the worst film I have ever seen is thats my go to answer.

That's not an attack, you're entitled to your opinion, hate it as much as you like. I'd like to know why you don't like it though. Any time a friend says they hate it, they just say they hate it and leave it at that.

It's based on Richard Matheson's 1954 novel I Am Legend . A virulent bacterial pandemic overwhelms the world and turns humans into cannibalistic vampires. The one man who remains immune - thanks to a previous inoculating bite from a vampire bat - struggles to comprehend the nature of the plague as he fends off vampire attacks all the while. It's been filmed three times, with Vincent Price in The last man on earth (1964), with Charlton Heston in The Omega Man (1971) and of course with Will Smith in I Am Legend (2007).


Anyhoo...
I really like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and everyone else seems to hate it.

Kill Bill. I honestly though this movie had nothing but love, but most of the time all I see is hate.

Tons of my friends hated Pulp Fiction, but I think it's an awesome movie.

That's funny, I always saw the opposite with those movies, everyone loves them while I....well, I hate Kill Bill. Pulp Fiction is still great if not annoying at times...=P

As for me, I always liked Michael Bay's The Island, honestly I think it's his best and most interesting film.

Pretty much everyone I know hates the Evil Dead films...

The second one is probably one of my favorite movies, Army of Darkness can run head first into a swinging recking ball for all I care.

now your asking for a beatdown. Army of Darkness is classic! Its up there as one of my favorite comedies of all time, and I know alot of people like it too.

As for the topic, Van Helsing, The Punisher with Thomas Jane and Jon Travolta, and on the top of my head Prince of Persia. I really liked all those movies, cirtics seemed to dislike them alot though

I like Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.

People rage about how it has nothing to do with Final Fantasy, how it almost destroyed Square or how the "Digital Actors" were overhyped, and how the plot has weird plot device stuff going on, aaaand...they are right.

Still, i like it. The Characters may ACT wooden, but they are kinda sympathetic, it has a great mood going on, a predictable but still engaging plot and visually, it's mind blowing.

Not exactly from a technical standpoint mindblowing, at least nowadays, but it has awesome art direction, design, and many many cool moments that you want to make a wallpaper of.


So yeah, in the end i mostly like it because it looks good, but since people like Michael Bay exist i don't really feel too bad about liking this little big disappointment.

Speaking as someone who's never played the FF games, I hated this movie because the plot was just so massively bad and had huge holes in it. If it weren't the most advanced CGI at the time, (I'm a huge fan of CGI,) I wouldn't have bothered watching the whole thing. I agree with you about everything else, but that plot was just horrible.

Spoiler

-soul-eating energy beings from outer space turn out to be just alien ghosts. (Who ever heard of soul-eating ghosts???)
-The same laser that neutralizes the alien ghosts won't work on the alien Gia thing that's the same frequency that they are? Why won't it work?
-The alien Gia just happens to be right on top of our Earth Gia??? Really? What are the odds?
-& I recall something about the alien Gia was expected to just move out of the way or something, & the orbital laser would hit & destroy our Earth Gia... which was of a different frequency & apparently not smart enough to move out of the way like the alien gia. Everything in this movie was about an energy's frequency. Since the Earth Gia's of a different frequency than the alien gia, the laser SHOULD have no effect on it.
It's been years since I've seen it. That's all I can remember, & I'm sure as heck not going to refresh my memory.

Yeah, I love Southland Tales! Yeah, it's flawed as hell, but it's original, daring, labyrinthe; it's a really great experiment. More films like that, fewer rom-coms and wacky buddy flicks, maybe we'll inject some passion back into mainstream cinema.
I also think a lot of horrors are massively underrated simply because of genre; Midnight Meat Train, for instance, I think is fascinating as a portrayal of obsession and downfall.

Oh, don't even get me started, I love talking shit about that movie...=P

I like halo, country music, Kane and Lynch, and black coffee, that's all I can think of right now.
